Re: I stopped coughing, wife has no smell or taste.
Great historical pictures, appreciated !!! As far as Covid, protect yourself and family ( friends too...) by keeping by yourself in the house and wearing a good mask for at least 5-6 days.... a minimal effort not to spread, or even catch the "bug". Hopefully you'll get a doctor's response and medicine to help the problem..... we speak from experience. Have better days and thanks again for your picture postings.

Re: I stopped coughing, wife has no smell or taste.
I wonder what car the "Dual Mother-in-Law" seats are on at Jos. Buttonow's garage. A similar one, a Pierce Arrow, inspired me to make some for my Speedster. Imagine carrying two Mother-in-Laws! There might be a duel.
Keep a stiff upper lip and hang in there. We're all pullin' for ya.

Re: I stopped coughing, wife has no smell or taste.
For the younger members of MTFCA that don’t know what is going on in the 13 th picture down, taken in Florida on February 22, 1916 that looks like a celebration. Before America got, “Woke”, in the late Twentieth Century and early Twenty Frist Century and changed holidays around. America would celebrate George Washington and his very special place in American history on his birthday of February 22 with parades and American flags.

Re: I stopped coughing, wife has no smell or taste.
On the 11th picture from the bottom: that sure looks like Henry Ford standing by that worn out hoopie with no fenders, headlamps or kerosene font. Very unusual if so. Hes usually photographed next to historical Fords. Get well soon Tom & wife.

Hah George, finally we have proof: Henry Ford himself did aprove of jalopies ! 

When in trouble, do not fear, blame the second engineer !

Hang in there Tom. You will feel better soon. Lots of rest, electrolytes and healthy food. Emphasis on the rest. Can't beat natural immunity. Been there. Done that.

Re: I stopped coughing, wife has no smell or taste.
The 11th picture from the bottom sure looks like Henry Ford or his double!
Could it be that the roughed out early T is a very early T that was still going after what’s it’s been through and Henry was posing in front of it?
Maybe even a 2 lever 2 pedal T? I can’t tell from the pic but doesn’t the brass radiator have the winged Ford script on it? The photo has some writing on the bottom of it and maybe it’s a clue.
Maybe it’s one of those elusive first 2 pedal T’s or one that came out just after and an early 3 pedal. Neat photo what ever it is. Any guesses??

Re: I stopped coughing, wife has no smell or taste.
Tom, I love these photos; they make my day!
My daughter is a doctor and has told me that one of the best things for Covid is Zinc. You can get it in mixes such as Cal Mag Zinc + D3, which I take. Good luck,
John

Oh Dennis, that was good. I laughed hard and so did my wife. I guess I left myself open for that.

Re: I stopped coughing, wife has no smell or taste.
I like the photo of the brick garage too, with the nearly new '13 roadster with the turtle deck removed. It also has the Rands windshield with two equal halves, which are fairly uncommon.
